TAG: The Seven Deadly Sins

I first saw this tag on Elsa's blog, and it looked like fun so I decided to participate on my blog as well! I hope you enjoy reading my answers, and I'd love to know your answers as well so feel free to leave a post link to your answers to this tag in the comments below. (I also changed one of the questions because I felt it was a duplicate to another question in the tag!)

1. Greed: What is the cheapest nail polish in your stash?

I have quite a few polishes that I've gotten for less than retail, but I think this polish from Cosmopolitan Magazine is my cheapest one- I got it for free! It was a promo a long time ago where you sent a text message and they mailed you this polish. The name of it is "Wild Thing" and I've never even bothered to swatch it. Maybe I'll show it on the blog now that I've been reminded that I have it!

2. Wrath: Which polish in your stash do you have a love/hate relationship with?

Definitely M.A.C. Little Girl Type. It's not so much that I love/hate it as it is that I don't want to purge it, even though it has a troublesome formula that doesn't wear well on me.. and that I happen to have two dupes to it in my collection! But it's the only polish of this brand that I have, and I swapped to get it, so it stays with me for now.

3. Gluttony: How many polishes are currently in your stash, and do you ever think you'll stop adding to your collection?

As of right now I have 223 polishes, and that's after a rather large purge! And no, I don't think I'll ever be completely done collecting. There are always new colors and styles of polish coming out and I'm always open to adding new pretties! I do think that as time goes on I will refine my collection by purging polishes I don't wear in order to make room for new ones.

4. Sloth: Which polish do you hate wearing because of the trouble you have to go to when either applying or removing it?

Ugh, this pretty much applies to all the glitter bomb polishes I own! Glitters are so wonderful and they majorly appeal to the sparkle-crazy side of me but removal (even with the foil method) is a pain in the butt! Maybe I should try the glue method but I'm worried I won't get decent wear time. Have any of ya'll used the glue base coat trick? How did it go for you?

5. Pride: Which polish are you proud to own?

This one is pretty simple for me to answer; It's my original version of OPI's My Private Jet. Even though holographic polishes are pretty easy to come by right now this one is still a coveted polish and it was one that I was really thrilled to find when dusty hunting. Even though I have another charcoal/black holographic polish now, I think I will always have a soft spot for this bottle. Plus, mmmmmmm.. rainbow-y goodness.

6. Lust: What polish do you wear when you want to feel sexy?

As cliche as it sounds, the color I feel sexiest wearing is red. Especially a vampy red. Well, any vampy color in general gives me a little boost of confidence when I wear them. This one in particular is Essie's Lacy Not Racy.

7. Envy: Which polish is your biggest lemming, and you envy those who own it?

Well my lemmings change all the time but a long-time desire has been the original Lynnderella Ribbon Candy. She had a couple new bottles up on ebay last time I checked, but they look different than this version I have pictured. It's one of those "never gonna cough up the cash for it" polishes that I adore but will likely never own, so I just drool over this picture on my pinterest board!
